Wonderful

[Intro: Children]
"Hey, ain't life wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Isn't it wonderful now?"

[Verse 1: Art]
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

[Verse 2: Art]
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

[Pre-Chorus: Art]
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

[Chorus: Band and Art]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

[Verse 3: Art]
I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

[Pre-Chorus: Art]
Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big (so big)
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

[Chorus: Band and Art]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

[Bridge: Art]
I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything (everything)
I hate everything (everything)
Everyone and everything (everything)
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...

[Chorus: Band, Children, and Art]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No!
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No! (No!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
No! (No!)
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

[Outro until fade]
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, everything is wonderful now
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh yeah, everything is wonderful now
